Harry Styles is an English singer, songwriter, and actor. He is a member of boy band One Direction, along with Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and, previously, Zayn Malik. He has featured in the films Dunkirk, Eternals, Don’t Worry Darling, and My Policeman.

Harry is the son of Anne (Selley) and Desmond Styles. He is of English descent. Many of his ancestors were farm labourers in Norfolk. Some of Harry’s father’s ancestry can be traced back to the 1500s. He was raised in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.

Harry’s paternal grandfather is Keith Frederick Styles (the son of Ernest George Styles and Gladys Winifred Fairchild). Keith was born in Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England. Ernest was the son of Sydney/Sidney George Styles and Ellen Amelia Eales. Gladys was the daughter of Frederick Fairchild and Jane Winters.

Harry’s paternal grandmother is Beryl German (the daughter of John George German and Doris Daniels). Beryl was born in Peterborough, Northamptonshire, England. Doris was the daughter of Elijah Daniels and Maggie Rosetta Dunkley.

Harry’s maternal grandfather is Brian William Selley (the son of William Thomas Selley/Selby and Ena May Boon). Brian was born in Islington, London, England. Harry’s great-grandfather William was the son of John Hackwarthy Selley and Martha Caroline Baker. Ena was the daughter of Albert John Boon and Ellen Margaret Dennington.

Harry’s maternal grandmother is Mary Smith (the daughter of Herbert Stanley George Smith and Mary Anne J. Barlow). Harry’s grandmother Mary was born in Greenwich, London, England. Herbert was the son of George Henry Smith and Amelia Eliza Smith. Harry’s great-grandmother Mary Anne was the daughter of George Frederick Barlow and Mary Ann Jane Humphries.

Because of Harry’s interest in the Jewish faith, there has been speculation as to whether Harry is of Jewish background/religion. Harry is not Jewish (neither of his parents is of Jewish ancestry).

    I agree that his nose is suspicious. Now I’m not saying harry here might have hidden African ancestry.All I’m saying is tale every full blooded white English person with a grain of salt.A lot of mixing went down during the colonial era with the white mixed race children of indentured servants and slaves that were brought to England at the time.Plus the fact that the British govt does not cover the colonial ere in British schools is suspicious considering the FacT that they started it.I outed an English man for having African ancestry(it was obvious),it wasn’t after a bunch of insults thrown on my part before he admitted he had African ancestors. The thing with Britain/Europe to them if you look white and blend into their communities then your white.Don’t believe everything the English say,only the good ones will admit it.

      LOL bro, really? Nobody is full blooded/pure European or African it’s quite IMPOSSIBLE, everyone’s genetically mixed and it’s just a fact btw The English didn’t always have “light” skin… Ever heard of the Cheddar man? An Ancestor of the English people he had dark skin and blue eyes.

      • Lee says:

        Now u know how the people who u refer to as “white” has FRECKLES and they’re what color? BROWN or TAN, it’s a resemblance of their ancestor. The CHEDDAR man. Back then all Europeans had dark skin, and light skin actually originated in Asia (I know half of you would disagree) lol.. Of course racist people will deny it.

      nothing wrong with the current pic. Cant update every pic without spending a lot of money.

    • andrew says:

      He does not look like this anymore (same for Liam Payne and other teen idols), but if money is the reason I agree with you.

      Btw can you confirm my Chris Froome submission when you can? Thank you very much.
